About Lohri: Lohri marks the end of the longest night and the celebration of new beginnings in northern part of India. Traditionally observed during the winter solstice, this festival symbolizes the end of the coldest days of winter. It is most often celebrated in households that have recently witnessed marriages or the birth of a child. The evening features the lighting of a bonfire at sunset, around which family and friends gather to sing, dance, and express gratitude by offering sesame seeds, sugar-candy, and sweets to the flames. This ritual serves as a gesture of respect to the Sun God, seeking continued protection and blessings.
Come and celebrate with us as we gather around the bonfire, enjoy cultural performances, traditional foods, and connect with friends and family. Let’s make this Lohri a night to remember!
This event is free, all are welcome regardless of their age, religion and gender! Spread the word and bring your family, friends and loved ones to share in the festivities. 🌾✨
We can’t wait to celebrate with you! 🎉🔥
